Senator Arlen Specter says Obama ditched him after he voted to pass health law
The Hill ^ | 03/12/12 | Alexander Bolton

Former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) writes in a new book that President Obama ditched him in the 2010 election after he helped Obama win the biggest legislative victory of his term by passing healthcare reform.

Specter also claims that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not uphold his promise to grant him seniority accrued over 28 years of service in the Senate as a Republican.

Specter, who rocked Washington’s political establishment and made headlines around the country when he left the Republican Party to join Democrats in April of 2009, has kept quiet about these slights until now ...

Well, we know he’s a liar. No argument there. But it was in the news back then, and he didn’t deny it. Maybe he lied then, and is lying now, but changed his mind and actually carried through with confirming Roberts and Alito in the middle.

He has his own crazy motives. He didn’t support Clarence Thomas because he was conservative, but because he was black, and he thought he was making points with black voters. Then, to his horror, he discovered that he had lost a ton of feminist voters in the process, so he immediately changed course—but too late to torpedo Thomas.

I can’t even believe that he believed he had a deal. This must be to sell books, or something.

“What’s the difference between Benedict Arnold and
Arlen Spector?

You can respect Benedict Arnold’s leg”

Also, with Arnold it wasn’t that the British were untrustworthy so much as incompetent.

Your a prostitute, Arlen.

I don’t see it as nonsense or off topic.

ANYTHING that related to Santorum is now fair game.

Specter bragging about voting for Obamacare.....which will destroy the best medical care in the world, and bitching because he didn’t get paid off.....amazing.

Another example of a congress-critter only caring about what is in it for him/her.

Disgusting lack of honor. I despise these creeps.

So this loser voted for a poorly-conceived national health care system because he anticipated some personal favor(???)

Surreal.
